Carotid Intima-media Thickness

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2014
Evidence-based medicine requires us to use pharmacological agents that have been tested and that have been showed to reduce the disease in that particular group of affected patients. The choice of the efficacy endpoint is one of the most controversial issues in designing the trials.

Carotid intima-media Thickness and Cardiovascular Risk

Future Cardiology, 2011
Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death in most developed nations. Identifying an individual's cardiovascular risk remains a challenge. Traditional coronary-risk stratification is based on cardiovascular risk factors using risk score systems, which may not reliably identify atherosclerosis in asymptomatic individuals.

Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Beyond

Current Drug Target -Cardiovascular & Hematological Disorders, 2004
Atherosclerosis evolves from the vascular wall. The initial build-up starts at the inner layers of the intima media complex of the artery. To track these phases of the beginning of disease requires a technique that can reliably detect and follow the extent and severity non-invasively over time.

Carotid intima‐media thickness in Parkinson's disease

Movement Disorders, 2007
AbstractThere have been a few studies and inconsistent results regarding the coincidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atherosclerotic diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease. Carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) is a known marker for subclinical atherosclerosis.

Reproductive history and carotid intima‐media thickness

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2007
AbstractBackground. Intima‐media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arteries is a valid measure of preclinical atherosclerosis which may predict cardiovascular outcomes. Metabolic and hormonal changes associated with the reproductive history of women may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods.

Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio and its relation with pro‐inflammatory mediators, visceral adiposity and carotid intima‐media thickness in population with obesity

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2019
Atherosclerosis represents a cardiovascular risk. Chronic inflammation is a key factor for atherogenic progression. Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular risks.

Carotid intima-media thickness for the practicing lipidologist

Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2010
It is well known that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States and in many parts of the developed world. However, early detection of atherosclerosis remains a challenging area of research and development. Stress echo and myocardial perfusion studies were not designed to be screening tests and the majority of

Snoring and carotid artery intima‐media thickness

The Laryngoscope, 2014
Objectives/HypothesisA growing body of evidence indicates that primary snoring (PS) may be the initial presentation of sleep‐disordered breathing and can adversely affect an individual's health. Individuals with the sole diagnosis of PS were evaluated to determine if a relationship exists between snoring and thickening of the intima media of the ...

Intima-Media Thickness of Carotid Arteries

2014
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a validated predictive marker of increased plaque occurrence and the incidence of major cardiovascular events. However, due to technical issues associated with the measurement of CIMT, a well-trained and certified sonographer is needed to overcome causes of variability due to the patient, device, sonographer ...

Questioning the Predictive Role of Carotid intima–media Thickness

Future Cardiology, 2011
Interest in carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), as a tool to evaluate cardiovascular risk has been driven by studies that demonstrate a relationship between carotid IMT and the incidence of cardiovascular events. However, no study was designed and powered to demonstrate a relationship between changes in carotid IMT during follow-up and cardiovascular
